The Corsair K70 Firmware Update Struggle

After a few hours of searching that spanned a few months, I was finally able to upgrade my Corsair K70 RGB Gaming Keyboard firmware to 2.05. No matter what I tried, soft reset, hard reset, upgrade through iCUE, nothing seemed to work. I would get a failed to update error.

Side note, you have a better chance at buying plutonium than finding the firmware downloads available online.

After some digging though, I found them on the Corsair community forums. I will share the process I took to upgrade the firmware on my K70 RGB Gaming Keyboard.
